After confirming that he was out of danger, Li Hongzhang asked Peng Yulin for a separate space and locked himself in. I escaped death, and then I need to think about how to give an account to Lord Zeng.

In fact, he has been worried since the failure of the land clearance, and he has not left this theme along the way, regardless of whether he escapes by land or in the water, and it is impossible to leave.

What is he doing here? Isn't it just to solve problems for Lord Zeng, the deity of the Qincha? Isn't this worry the chaotic people in Guangxi? Isn't this a problem because Lord Zeng lacks skills and needs me to deal with these chaotic people on his behalf?

As a result, the rights were given to me, and all the conditions were prepared, but I smashed it. If it weren't for the three Makqin specially gifted by Lord Zeng, who turned the tide at a critical moment, people wouldn't want to come back.

The more he thought about it, the more he was sorry for Lord Zeng's trust and entrustment, and he really didn't know how to give an account to Lord Zeng.

Speaking of the eight generals collected by Lord Zeng, Li Hongzhang was the leader of Wenchen, and even if Wenchen had the same rank, he had a higher status than Wuchen, so Li Hongzhang, headed by Wenchen, naturally became the head of all civil and military officials.

Before advocating group training, Li Hongzhang actually had a ten-year-long friendship with Zeng Guofan, and even now he has always been respectful to Zeng Guofan as a student.

Since he has this relationship, he is very clear about the teacher's intentions, whether it is his interaction with the university scholar Du Shoutian, or his closeness to the newly appointed emperor, it is for one purpose, to ensure the peace and stability of the current ruling system, and not to be disturbed by the chaotic people.

The new emperor and his most trusted teacher, Du Shoutian, fully supported Zeng Guofan. He also made him the minister who presided over the regimental training, and also made him concurrently serve as the deputy of five of the six functional departments, so that he could be transferred as needed for all needs.

Then, for the first time in history, he set up the title of Qincha Co-organizer to help Zeng deal with the urgent affairs of the whole country. Guangxi, on the other hand, has always been a place of rebellion and thieves, and it is the most difficult place to deal with on the trend map of Zeng Guofan.

In particular, Zeng pointed out that the turmoil there was characterized by the rise of a new sect, the "God Worship Religion," which had great ties with Western countries and was called Christianity. Even the state of Xu Guo adopted Christianity as the state religion.

Master Zeng gave him two tasks. One is to extinguish the rebellion that has not yet been mixed with religion on a large scale, and the other is to pay special attention to the movements of Mai Ke. This wheat ke. is the main interlocutor for a long time.

In fact, Mr. Zeng admires Mai Ke's talent very much, and in a certain sense, the two are still friends. However, the issue of Baohe and anti-Manchu Qing determined that the two were irreconcilable. It's a life-and-death relationship.

In order to deal with Mai Ke. Lord Zeng deliberately handed over the Hidden Eagle Pavilion to him. Provide him with intelligence support, and at the same time, Peng Yulin was specially arranged to go to Gwangju to take charge of the water division, and echo him from afar, once needed. You can mobilize the army of sailors, go upstream, cross the Zhujiang River, turn the Xijiang River, and provide waterway support.

In addition, there are special local governors and overseers who are allowed to obey his command, and they can mobilize the military, manpower, and financial resources of the province in Guangxixing. This is also why this purge not only mobilized the provincial army, but also the two military and political giants, Governor Lao Chongguang and Governor Xiangrong, also accompanied the team to recruit in person.

Of course, there are also personal factors for Li Hongzhang. If he stays in Guilin, where the governor's yamen is stationed, then at least Lao Chongguang will not have to go to the front line.

As a result, all the arrangements ended in failure, Lord Zeng's long preparation was in vain, and neither of the two tasks was completed, could it be that it was all due to my bad luck that everyone was as unlucky as me?

This was actually the first time that Li Hongzhang had independently commanded such a large operation, but he ran into a wave of special forces who crossed over. Not to mention him, no one in this era is an opponent. He was able to escape, even if he had great ability, he was a great success!

Many years later, when summing up the fiasco of this purge, I think there are bright spots. And the only bright spot for this was that at a critical moment, the Chinese army was able to retreat from Jintian Village.

And this decision to retreat was precisely made by Li Hongzhang, because he was the highest among the three people, and the other two had opposite opinions.

However, this bright spot was overshadowed by a large number of failures, and even Li Hongzhang himself felt that it was nothing; objectively speaking, it was indeed disproportionate to the failure.

Therefore, now Li Hongzhang is more and more disappointed the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he is too incompetent, and his luck is so unlucky; there is really no way to give an account to Master Zeng, and his own student is also ashamed of his teacher, which is simply an insult to the teachers.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, seeing that the future was bleak, and there was no hope for his ambitions, not only could he not repay the kindness of his teachers and the vast number of teachers, but also that his life was to disgrace the teachers. Rather than survive, it is better to break it yourself!

Also, he stood up, pulled out the sword at his waist, stroked the sharp blade with his hand, and sighed: "Sword! Sword! I originally wanted to use you to kill traitors and eliminate evil people, but I didn't expect that the first one would be to drink the blood of my Li people! Let the first one try whether your sword is sharp!"

Saying that, he didn't think about it anymore, put on a chic posture, and tried to make a relaxed smile, and the sword in his hand also pulled a sword flower, like his own neck slashed hard!

Although this sword is not a genuine Shang Fang sword, it is also the same as the copy of the Qin Cha co-organizer, it is a copy of the Shang Fang Sword, which was carefully made by the people of Zeng Guofan's special weapons supervisor, and the quality is very high.

It is also this Li Hongzhang's life that should not be extinguished, he was already righteous when he killed him, and the room was empty, who would dare to disturb the co-organizer of the Qin Mission?

But by coincidence, he committed suicide and grabbed a sword flower, and the vibration of this sword flower opened a small mechanism on the hilt of his sword, and with a soft "snap", a note fell down.

This reminded Li Hongzhang that before leaving, the teacher told him that there was a trick in the hilt of the sword, but he should never open it until he was at the moment of life and death. He was completely swallowed up by the failures and setbacks for a while, and forgot all about it.

I almost had my head cut off by myself, this is a matter of life and death, right? Whatever, let's take a look at it first! If it doesn't work, it's not too late to die after seeing it.

So he leaned over and picked up the note, opened it and saw that there were only eight big characters written on it: "Guangxi defeated army, quickly find Mingchen!" (to be continued......)
